Answer:

Acid precipitation begins when compounds such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emanating from pollution (which come from factories, vehicles, power plants, and boilers) <u>mix with water or oxygen</u> in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Acid precipitation is produced by the concentration of <em><u>nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide </u></em>that react with particles of water or oxygen in suspension in the atmosphere, creating <em><u>nitrogen acids and sulfur acids. </u></em>

These concentrations of oxides and dioxides are, above all, created by the human hand, due to the vapors emanating from the burning of fossil fuels.

In addition to the fact that this rain contaminates any body of water with which it has contact,<u> destroying entire aquatic ecosystems.</u>

5. C

Explanation:

Energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The various forms of energy are solar energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, thermal energy, wind energy, nuclear energy etc.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be transformed or converted from one form to another.

Some of the terminologies associated with energy includes the following;

1. Fuel cell: produces electrical energy chemically. It is a technology that operates just like batteries but do not need to be recharged since it doesn't run down. Also, it comprises of two (2) electrodes which are: positive electrode (cathode) and negative electrode (anode), with an electrolyte embedded in between them.

2. Alternative energy: energy sources that are still in development. These includes energy source other than fossil fuels. Some examples are petroleum, diesel and coal.

3. Energy conservation: includes lifestyle changes. It involves energy saving actions in order to reduce the level of energy consumption such as daylight savings, energy saving bulbs, etc.

4. Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC): produces electrical energy using the temperature difference between two layers of water.

5. Energy efficiency: percentage of energy that does useful work. It determines the amount of work that can be done at a particular time.
